The driver side cowl vent hinge looks like it is spot welded. This hinge on my ’47 was seized when I got it over 20 years ago and the spot welds gave way when I strong armed the vent handle. I could kind of wedge it shut or have it open when needed. I recently had my truck in a shop where they dismantled it. I’m putting it back together and don’t see how or where the hinge attaches to the truck. It attaches somewhere inside between the kick panel and the cowl. How do I attach it? Do I need to remove the kick panel? I did get a copy of the FAM, but this is not in there.
